Darling Diva ~ Catherine

Darling Diva ~ Catherine

Magenta with holo effect
and blurple glitters

It’s time for another Darling Diva polish – I still got a few in my box
of untrieds, and they really want to move into the Helmer. Catherine was the
most eager of the bunch, which is why I’m wearing her today.

The formula is good, I didn’t experience any problems with application
at all. Two coats is what it takes to build up the opacity and the drying time
is pretty good too. In fact: I don’t have anything bad to report at all :D

So here’s what Catherine looks like; 2 coats and a layer of Poshé
topcoat. The picture is taken with flash:

As you can see the holo effect isn’t the strongest, but I find it really
nice anyway.

Here’s a picture taken in my lightbox so you can see the glitters too. I
like this combination of finishes!

I recently bought a bunch of small stickers in various shapes, and
decided to try and make a bit of nail art with these stars:

I placed the stickers on my nails and painted with Ellagee’s “Delilah
Blue”, which I showed you here.

Here’s what that looked like:

And your low light picture. I quite like this effect!

When it was dry I applied a layer of Spectraflair topcoat from Piper
Polish Co. It isn’t the topcoat with the strongest holo effect, but the cool
thing is that it almost doesn’t dull the colours underneath it.
Note: I’ve ordered Dance Legend’s Prismatic topcoat, and I have a couple of
other holo topcoats, so I’ll make a comparison once the Dance Legend is in da
house.

Anyway, here’s my final mani, taken with flash:

Oh yes, this is something I like! I can’t wait to try my other shapes of
stickers, it’ll be fun to make some cool manis with them!

Here are the polishes I used:

Number of coats: 2
Drying time: fast

Durability: Good

Overall impression: Catherine
is a sweet colour. She doesn’t have much edge, but the added glitters makes a
huge difference!
